LOVE HISTORICAL FRANCE? - THEN THIS IS HEAVEN!
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
The very comprehensive description of the property was more than born out in reality - the management representatives were fabulous, picked us up at the airport and ensured we were settled in. Given we were extremely tired, this was a great reception.
The apartment is amazing - sited on a corner to get the best of the morning and evening sun, it stays cool and provides the best of contemporary heaven in the upper room, with traditional but smart and fresh on the main floor. Fully equipped kitchen, lovely wines on arrival were a kind touch and all you need for a completely restful break.
The old town location is lively in the day and so, so peaceful at night - no vehicles and only locals and tourists exploring the galleries and eclectic shops in the narrow cobbled streets.
The town of Pezenas is a mine of friendly cafes and bars with an amazing array of individual shops and a wonderful Saturday market. To eat anything that was more than 24 hours old would be criminal! It is a very relaxing place to go.
As wine buffs we had to explore the local vineyards and drink our favourite Picpoul de Pinet in its home town of Pinet, so we hired a car for a few days and headed for the coast (amazing try Sête and Marseillan and the beautiful, unspoilt beach in between).
Don’t miss the Belle Mare Vineyard, just outside of Meze where Italian/French Winemaker Fabienne creates amazing wines in a state of the art facility adjoining the oyster beds of Lake Thau.
